Yes, this will work but those search results will most likely not be unique, 
e.g. libc6-i686 and libc6 both provide libc.so.6 according to dpkg -S but 
only the latter is a proper dependency.
Thus looking at the .shlibs files in /var/lib/dpkg/info is needed, also to get 
a properly versioned dependency.

Highly packager and system specific, though.
